10	''Heavy Weapon'' is a [[HorizontalScrollingShooter side-scrolling]] ShootEmUp developed by Creator/PopCapGames and released in 2005. An UpdatedRerelease was ported to the Platform/XBox360 in 2007, the Platform/PlayStation2 in 2008, and the Platform/PlayStationNetwork in 2009.
11
12	A [[DirtyCommunists Red Star]] invasion of the world destroys nearly all the Allied troops. As the Allies' final hope, the player takes the role of the commander of an Atomic Tank to repel the invaders back into the main headquarters of Red Star.
13
14	Not to be confused with ''VideoGame/HeavyBarrel'', which has a similar IkeaWeaponry premise, or the [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Heavy Weapons Guy]]. He'd likely enjoy this game, though.[[note]]Especially considering most of the enemies are communists.[[/note]]
15	----
16	!! Tropes used for this game:
17	* ActionBomb: Barskov Munitions Blimps explode into multiple energy orbs when defeated. There are also Tachrok Ballistic Missiles and [[GoddamnedBats Fovraski Cruise Missiles]] that will try to drop onto you, although they do not do SplashDamage when they hit the ground.
18	* [[AdvancingBossOfDoom Advancing Mook Of Doom]]: The Bulldozer enemies. They will just keep moving towards you and will kill you if you touch them. To prevent this, you will have to fire at them to push them back. Trouble is, these things are usually fought with {{Airborne Mook}}s, making it hard to efficiently destroy them.
19	* AirborneMook: Most of your enemies are these. You'll also fight some ground-based enemies too, though, and in some cases, the ground ones can actually be more dangerous than the flying ones!
20	* AllThereInTheScript:
21	** The game's enemy description files shows that the boss of Killingrad's name is [[SpellMyNameWithAnS actually X-Bot, not H-Bot]], although the font used makes it look like the latter.
22	** The game's image files have the Havanski Atomic Bomber's atomic bombs labeled as "fatboy.png".
23	* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Your Nukes, as well as the enemy A-bombs should you fail to destroy them in time.
24	* AntiAir: The [[HomingProjectile Homing Missiles]], which only attack aerial opponents.
25	* AntiFrustrationFeature:
26	** Tachrok Ballistic Missiles will rise up from the background into the air offscreen before they descend on the playing field area. This gives the player ample warning that there's a missile shower incoming.
27	** In the PC versions, Shovak Bulldozers will not come from the side of the screen that the player is nearer to, in order to prevent a cheap death for the player. In the Xbox version, a warning arrow will appear before the bulldozer enters, giving ample warning to move out of the way.
28	* AttackItsWeakPoint: Some of the bosses-
29	** The Battleship's main weak spot is the control room, but you can take out its turrets for extra points.
30	** Eyebot can only be [[GoForTheEye damaged in the eye]]... when it's open.
31	** Mechworm, being a SegmentedSerpent, was vulnerable in the head.
32	** X-bot's head and body are its main weakpoints, however, you had to defeat its arms that blocked the way.
33	* BattleshipRaid: A miniature one occurs with the Battleship boss- you can destroy his cannons, but its real weak point is the main segment.
34	* BigCreepyCrawlies: Background information on Zamblamia: "The most common cause of death in Zamblamia is mosquito bites. The Zamblamian skeeter grows to lengths of 6 inches."
35	* BombardierMook: The majority of enemies in the game are aircraft that fly overhead to drop bombs of various types onto your tank.
36	* BossRush: The Xbox 360 and [=PS3=] releases of the game have "Boss Blitz" mode, where you have ''one life'' to face all 19 bosses- very difficult, considering that many bosses can flat-out destroy you in one attack.
37	* BossWarningSiren: This occurs with the '''Danger! Danger!''' in bold letters once you get to the end of the stage.
38	* BreakablePowerUp: Unlike many games which resets the player's complement of {{Smart Bomb}}s to the starting amount upon death, ''Heavy Weapon'' instead takes all of the player's nukes away, your Megalaser parts, and any {{Single Use Shield}}s on death. Otherwise {{averted}}, as weapon {{Power Up}}s remain.
39	* ButThouMust: Trying to start a level without fully allocating your [[PointBuildSystem skill points]] will show the message "You're going to need all the help you can get!", preventing you from doing the level until you do so.
40	* CapitalOffensive: The final level [[spoiler: before the [[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle plot twist]]]] takes place in Killingrad/Caliber City, the capital of the Red Star.
41	* ChainLightning: The lightning weapon does this.
42	* CognizantLimbs: Eyebot's tentacles.
43	* CombatTentacles: Eyebot has six tentacles, each of which can shoot out a lightning bolt that will ''[[OneHitKill instantly fry your tank regardless of shielding]]''. Thankfully, they are destructible.
44	* CollisionDamage: You don't take any damage if you run into a tank or missile truck. However, you die instantly if you run into the War Wrecker's wrecking ball, a bulldozer, Kommie Kong, Mechworm or X-Bot.
45	* CompetitiveMultiplayer: The "Arms Race" survival mode, where each player tries to be the last tank standing.
46	* ContinuingIsPainful [=/=] UnstableEquilibrium: Unlike many {{Shmups}} where you lose your power ups, but at least gain back around a number of 3 {{Smart Bomb}}s on death. Here, you ''lose'' all your [[SmartBomb Nukes]] as well as your Megalaser parts when you die! Bonus frustration if you were at full shields and got destroyed by a OneHitKill- you lose those extra shielding too! Needless to say, if you die in a level when you had maximum shields and nukes before, you might as well quit and restart.
47	* CoolAirship: War Blimp, the third boss. It sports a TractorBeam that makes it rain meteors!
48	* CoOpMultiplayer: The Platform/Xbox360 and Platform/PlayStation3 versions of the game include this, both for the main campaign and the survival mode.
49	* DeathFromAbove:
50	** Tachrok Ballistic Missiles will rise up into the air from the background, then land in certain spots of the screen.
51	** The War Blimp has a "Meteor Tractor Beam". What this does is to make it rain down meteors on you after it gets fired.
52	* DeathRay: The Satellite enemies has these, as well as the Final Boss in the first phase. Unfortunately for you, both are a OneHitKill if you touch any of them.
53	* DeflectorShields:
54	** Your tank can get up to three levels, allowing it to take four non-lethal hits.
55	** The Reflex aircraft have these. With the added bonus of spraying shots everywhere should the shields get hit by your regular shots. However, said shield is useless against all of your special attacks.
56	* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: Completely averted, as your tank aims with the mouse and as such, it can aim anywhere.
57	* DestructibleProjectiles [=/=] ShootTheBullet: Most enemy bombs and missiles can be shot down. This becomes an important mechanic when you face against [[DemonicSpiders Atomic Bombers]], because if their bombs touch the ground, you're toast regardless of shields!
58	* [[DifficultyByRegion Difficulty By Console]]: The Platform/XBox360 version of the game makes some bosses easier while making others more difficult. [[WarmUpBoss Twinblade]] shoots four missiles instead of two, the Battleship fully appears on the screen (instead of showing half of it in the PC version).
59	** On the bright side, you have more room to avoid War Wrecker's, Gorillazilla's, Mechworm's and X-Bot's OneHitKill contact attacks in the Platform/Xbox360 version.
60	** And of course, your aiming and movement are separate in the console version, taking away one of the most annoying forms of FakeDifficulty.
61	* DigAttack: Used each time Mechworm surfaces from the ground, watch out for the Wormsign under your or face a OneHitKill.
62	* DirtyCommunists: Your opponents, the "Red Star" are obviously a parody of the [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn Soviet Union]], with a touch of UsefulNotes/TsaristRussia.
63	--> "Take that, you commie pigs!"
64	* DiscOneFinalBoss: X-Bot, which you fight in the enemy's capital city.
65	* DishingOutDirt: The Mechworm throws out chunks of sandy rock whenever it jumps out of the sand, while the rematch against War Wrecker has the boss' wrecking ball toss up rocks whenever it scrapes the floor.
66	* EarlyBirdBoss: Twinblade in [[BossRush Boss Blitz]] mode. To put it, you (probably) got at least one power, rapid fire, SpreadShot, and some Nuke and Shield upgrades during the first level before fighting it in campaign mode. In Boss Blitz, you don't do the level and thus you fight it with only one level of shield, and nothing else whatsoever. Without the power, rapid fire and Spread Shot upgrades, you're dealing about 1/6 as much of what you'd have dealt at the end of the first level. If you can't makes its [[MisguidedMissile homing missiles misfire]] or shoot them down in time, ''you're toast in 2 hits''.
67	* EarnedStripes: The end of every level assigns you with an appropriately glamorous military insignia based on your score.
68	* EldritchAbomination: Eyebot may have been inspired by one of these, being a floating eyeball with tentacles (not unlike Yog-Sothoth or Shuma-Gorath). Appropriately enough, you fight it in the [[BigBoosHaunt horror-themed stage]].
69	* TheEmpire: The Red Star forces.
70	* EndlessGame: Survival mode. In the PC version, it lasts forever with increasingly difficult enemies until you die once. The Platform/Xbox360 remake's Arms Race mode gives each player 3 lives, while War Party only ends when there are no surviving players on screen (although players have infinite lives and will respawn after some time).
71	* EnemyChatter: The satellite enemies talk in some indecipherable Russian language every now and then.
72	* EnergyWeapon: Your laser shots are instant-hit beams. The FinalBoss, however, has [[SlowLaser Slow Lasers]] - his lasers are slow, and sometimes [[HomingLaser curve around]]!
73	* EpicFlail: Used by War Wrecker, and it's a OneHitKill on your tank. On the rematch against him, he uses it to [[DishingOutDirt kick up rocks from the ground]] too.
74	* EyeBeams: Used by X-Bot. Surprisingly, [[GiantEyeOfDoom Eyebot]] does ''not'' have these, it's his tentacles who have the beams instead.
75	* {{Faceship}}: [=BustCzar=]/Head Zeppelin is a floating head-ship thing.
76	* FakeDifficulty: In the PC version, your tank moves towards the mouse cursor, which means that you will be moving ''WHILE'' aiming. This alone makes up half the game's difficulty, as it makes it really annoying to defeat many opponents (especially the enemies that try to ram you).
77	* FictionalCounterpart: Most of the levels. Frigistan (Pakistan or Kyrgyzstan), Blastnya (Bosnia), Petrovakia (Slovakia), Zamblamia (Zambia), Tankylvania and Vodkavania (Transylvania), Antagonistan (Afghanistan) and Killingrad (Leningrad).
78	* FighterLaunchingSequence with Atomic Tanks!
79	* FinalExamBoss: Arguably, the FinalBoss.
80	** The first phase has it shoot two OneHitKill lasers that either go straight down, diagonally, or curve around. This part tests you on precise movement and control, because you die if you graze them.
81	** The second phase has it shoot random purple shots over the place, while periodically dropping an A-bomb that will OneHitKill you should it hit the ground. You have to aim precisely to put the damage on the A-bomb before it toasts you.
82	** The third and final phase has the boss unleash a MacrossMissileMassacre that homes in on you from both sides, forcing you to use quick aiming reflexes in order to shoot the missiles down before they reach you.
83	* FriendlyFireproof: Generally averted with the white support helicopters, which are affected by all your regular weapons. Thankfully, it is immune to your OneHitKill Nukes and [[WaveMotionGun Megalaser]]. However, if you shoot the white support helicopter one too many times, you will end up not only destroying it but also [[HostageSpiritLink losing points (or time in Survival Mode)]].
84	** Additionally, the Red Star Army's munitions can pass straight through each other, which is particularly visible in the (many) cases where you will have entire ''waves'' of heavy carpet bombers coming at you.
85	* GiantEyeOfDoom: Eyebot has one, which shoots out shots and serves as its [[GoForTheEye weak point]]. Its CombatTentacles are ''a lot'' more dangerous.
86	* GiantMook: The blimp enemies. [[DemonicSpiders Havanski Atomic Bombers]] count as well.
87	* TheGoomba: Hominov Prop Planes are slow, take one hit to die from the weakest weapons and have ''no weaponry'' at all. Bravski Jet Fighters are slow and also take one hit to die, but are capable of dropping bombs occasionally. Both are the first enemy types you'll face along with the Spetznak Bomber (which has attack capability and more hit points, and therefore doesn't qualify for this trope).
88	* GuiltBasedGaming: A "message" from your superior appears whenever you try to quit, such as:
89	--> "There's only one thing worse than a traitor, and that's a quitter!"
90	--> "Are you going to let the [[DirtyCommunists Red Star]] [[TheBadGuyWins win this time]]?"
91	--> "Will you abandon our allies at their time of greatest need?"
92	--> "The free world is depending on you! Are you going to let us down?"
93	--> "Too much carnage? Can't take the heat? Are you a MommasBoy?"
94	--> "On the run already? You just can't find good help anymore!"
95	--> "Quit NOW? Just whose side are you on, anyway?"
96	--> "Fine! Leave! Enjoy your freedom for the few remaining hours that you still have it!"
97	--> "What's the matter? No AC? No leather? No 6-speaker stereo? This is a WAR MACHINE, boy!"
98	--> "If you think a court-martial is easier to face than the enemy, I'll personally see to it that you're sadly mistaken! Are you SURE?"
99	* HardModeFiller: After beating the first 8 levels, you have to go through all of them again and the enemies are replaced with far tougher ones, while the bosses are way more durable with some having new tricks up their sleeves.
100	* HellishCopter: Can happen to the white support helicopters if '''you''' accidentally shoot them down.
101	* HomingProjectile: The homing missiles. They only home in on aerial targets, though. Enemies also get some in the form of homing missiles and laser-guided bomb.
102	* HoppingMachine: X-Bot, the ninth boss.
103	* IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace: Antagonistan and Killingrad.
104	* IkeaWeaponry: The Megalaser requires that you collect all four parts to it before you can get to use it for a limited period of time, similar to ''VideoGame/HeavyBarrel'''s titular weapon.
105	* InstakillMook: Three of them. Havanski Atomic Bombers will instantly kill you anywhere on the screen should their a-bombs successfully touch the ground. Romanov Attack Satellites fire a DeathRay downward that fry you regardless of shields. Finally, Shovak Bulldozers will immediately blow you up if they so much as to graze you.
106	* KillerGorilla: Kommie Kong / Gorillazilla, the stage five boss, is a robot monkey that throws exploding missiles and tries to stomp the player.
107	* KillSat: Romanov Attack Satellites are a miniature version. They charge up a DeathRay and fire it vertically downwards, [[OneHitKill instantly killing you if it hits]].
108	* KingKongCopy: Kommie Kong is a giant gorilla [[{{Cyborg}} with cybernetic attachments]] that your tank has to fight as one of the bosses.
109	* LuckBasedMission: The set of enemies you will face in a "wave" are randomly selected. Heaven help you if you have to face GoddamnedBats or DemonicSpiders in that wave.
110	* MacrossMissileMassacre: You can do this with the rockets and missiles power-up. The final form of the FinalBoss tries this on you too!
111	* MadeOfExplodium: Everything. Justified, as everything in this game is a vehicle or machine of some sort.
112	* MarathonLevel: Pretty much all the levels after the second are like these. It doesn't help that many enemies in the game are [[GoddamnedBats incredibly annoying]] or [[DemonicSpiders downright dangerous]].
113	* MoreDakka: First, you have your rapid regular shot that soon turns into a powerful rapid SpreadShot. Then you start getting strong AntiAir homing missiles, and a hitscan laser that deals good damage. After that, you gain powerful dumbfire rockets (up to 3 at a go), a flak cannon that decimates the area around your mouse, and finally a ChainLightning gun that bounces from Mook to Mook.
114	* NukeEm: Your Nuke weapon. CAUTION! There's an aptly-named atomic bomber who will do this to you!
115	* OneHitKill: Your Nuke weapon and Megalaser weapon on the regular Mooks. Enemies can do this to you too- Atomic Bombers will literally '''nuke''' your character, Satellites have {{deathray}}s, while Bulldozers will instantly crush you if you don't push them away. As for bosses, War Wrecker has his wrecking ball, Kommie Kong, Mechworm and X-Bot can kill you via contact, and Eyebot's lightning will fry you instantly. And for the FinalBoss, it combines the worst of both worlds- the first phase shoots curvy death rays, while the second phase drops those damned A-bombs.
116	* OneHitPointWonder: Your tank is destroyed in one hit. However, you can get DeflectorShields as power-ups to increase that amount to four.
117	* OneManArmy: Your character becomes this.
118	* [[FiveMovesOfDoom One Move Of Doom]]: The War Wrecker boss. Its only attack is to swing its wrecking ball, but that is all it needs, as it is an instant kill if it hits, regardless of shield. Thankfully, it's very easy to avoid if you know how, which makes the boss a BreatherBoss.
119	* OrbitingParticleShield: The Defense Orbs are this. They protect against everything but nuke explosions and laser weapons, but don't rely too much on them as an enemy can sneak in a shot or two.
120	* PointBuildSystem: You get an upgrade point after each level, which you can freely distribute among your equipment.
121	* PowerUp: Dropped by those white helicopters which could be accidentally shot down by you.
122	* RammingAlwaysWorks: Used by the bulldozer Mooks as their only attack, unfortunately for you, it's a OneHitKill regardless of shield.
123	* RecurringBoss: ALL of them, except the FinalBoss. After the [[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle reveal that the Red Star had actually built another massive army]], you have to go back through the first nine levels again, and fight each boss again. Of course, the bosses have more hit points and have new tricks up their sleeve.
124	* RecursiveAmmo: Kommie Kong's/Gorillazilla's rockets explode into six smaller shots if not destroyed.
125	* RecycledInSpace: ''Ocean Commander'' is pretty much the same game except it's UNDERWATER! And a lot crappier!
126	* RemilitarizedZone: Pretty much all the levels, no thanks to the [[DirtyCommunists Red Star]]. Amusingly, some of the stages still have people minding their own business, such as the sunbathers in Blastnya.
127	* RemixedLevel: The first 9 levels, which you have to go through again except that the enemies patterns are a lot tougher.
128	* ReReleaseSoundtrack: The Playstation versions include a new remixed soundtrack, as well as new exclusive songs for each stage.
129	* RiskStyleMap: The Mission briefing map is like this.
130	* RuleOfThree: This game really loves the trope. You get three lives per level, you can hold up to three nukes, you have three levels of shielding, and your weapons can be upgraded up to three times.
131	* SandWorm: The eighth boss Mechworm is a robotic variant.
132	* ScaryScorpions: Background information on [[ShiftingSandLand Antagonistan]]: "The black scorpion of this region is famous as the world's most poisonous arachnid. Be careful during bathroom breaks!"
133	* SegmentedSerpent: The above-mentioned [[SandWorm Mechworm]], attack its head to defeat it.
134	* SequentialBoss: The final boss has three phases that it goes through as it sustains damage -- the first fires deadly lasers, the second drops atomic bombs while spraying purple shots everywhere, and the last spams homing missiles.
135	* ShockAndAwe: Your lightning weapon, as well as Eyebot's OneHitKill tentacle beams.
136	* ShoutOut:
137	** "Kommie Kong", a large robotic monkey who is an obvious reference to ''Film/KingKong'' and ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong''. His name was changed to Gorilla[[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} zilla]] in the UpdatedRerelease for the Xbox 360 and [=PS3=].
138	** Bustczar was renamed "[[Music/LedZeppelin Head Zeppelin]]" in the Platform/Xbox360 version.
139	** When you damage the FinalBoss enough, most of it breaks off, revealing the BigBad's head sticking out of a floating machine. [[VideoGame/MegaMan Dr Wily, anyone?]]
140	** The Megalaser could be one to the titular weapon of ''VideoGame/HeavyBarrel''. Both are superweapons [[IkeaWeaponry made from multiple parts you have to collect]], both OneHitKill regular Mooks, and when you manage to craft them, you only get a few seconds of usage before they disappear.
141	** Zamblamia's name was changed to "[[Franchise/JurassicPark Triassic Park]]" in the Xbox 360 version.
142	** The file name for the enemy A-bomb picture is called "fatboy.png", as a reference to Little Boy and Fat Man.
143	* SigilSpam: The Red Star sure likes placing their logo on their boss units. (Twinblade, Battlship, War Blimp, Eyebot, [=BustCzar=], and the FinalBoss). Some of their Mooks also have them.
144	* SmartBomb: Your nuke weapons, which you have three of. The enemy is not stupid though, they have a Mook that can drop large nukes to instantly kill you should it manage to hit the ground.
145	* SovietSuperscience: Some of the enemies use out-of-this-world technology, most notably the War Blimp whose TractorBeam can pull down meteors from outer space!
146	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: X-Bot. Most people call it H-Bot, but the game data files for the PC version shows its name as X-Bot. This confusion is due to the font used for the BossSubtitles, which makes the X look like a H.
147	* SpoilerCover: The [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heavyweapon_2368.jpg main image on the game's box]] shows Romanov Attack Satellites and Barskov Munitions Blimps in Petrovakia, while the player is using a whole slew of powered-up weaponry. You don't fight those enemies or get that many powerups the first time you get there.
148	* SpreadShot: One of the power-ups gives your tank a spread fire. More power-ups give more shots per spread.
149	* StockNessMonster: You see them in the background of [[PalmtreePanic Blastnya]].
150	* TankGoodness: Your character!
151	* ThemedCursor: During gameplay, you have a neat radioactive sign-like crosshair that glows.
152	* TitleScream
153	* TookALevelInBadass: Most of the bosses during the rematch against them. The WarmUpBoss Twinblade now has two indestructible gun turrets. The once-BreatherBoss [[EpicFlail War Wrecker]] can now extend its chain to [[DishingOutDirt toss up rocks from the ground]], making it a lot harder to evade damage.
154	* TotalPartyKill: In the CoOpMultiplayer mode War Party, the game only ends if there are no players alive on the screen. Which the [[DemonicSpiders Havanski Atomic Bomber]] can do if your party is not careful.
155	* TractorBeam: Used by the War Blimp to cause meteors to rain down on you.
156	* UpgradedBoss: Every boss in the second half of the game (sans the [[FinalBoss Secret Weapon]]) is the same as their earlier-fought counterpart, but with much more health and may have new tricks up their sleeve. Notably, Twinblade gets a pair of plasma cannons, and War Wrecker's wrecking ball now swings lower, kicking up chunks of rock from the ground.
157	* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: You can shoot down the white support helicopters that are affected by friendly fire. [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment The game will know about this]], and dock off many points from you (or in the case of a survival run, half a minute) from you if you do so. In the [=PS3=] version, you get an achievement for doing so!
158	* WakeUpCallBoss: Depending on your level of skill, there's at least one in the main game.
159	** War Blimp has rather nasty-to-avoid "roto-mines", which are basically homing bombs that you have to shoot down before they hit you. These can actually be more dangerous than its [[DeathFromAbove Meteor Tractor Beam]].
160	** War Wrecker is definitely this for first-time players who do not know how to avoid its OneHitKill wrecking ball.
161	** If you found War Blimp moderate and the War Wrecker easy, then Kommie Kong would be this. It will kill you so long as you brush against it (but it shouldn't be too hard to avoid touching him), and its missiles that explode into multiple shots aren't exactly the easiest things to avoid (at least in the PC version).
162	** Surprisingly enough, [[WarmUpBoss TWINBLADE]] in Boss Blitz can be this. It acts exactly the same as it did in the story mode, except that it's ''you'' who's weaker. To put it, you (probably) get at least one power, SpreadShot, and some Nuke and Shield upgrade during the level itself. In Boss Blitz, you fight it with only one level of shield, and nothing else whatsoever. If you can't [[MisguidedMissile makes his missiles misfire]] or shoot them down in time, you're toast in ''2'' hits.
163	* WarIsGlorious
164	* WarmUpBoss: Twinblade, a helicopter with two homing missile launchers. You can destroy the launchers, which makes it completely useless for the rest of the fight. The second time you fight it, it has two indestructible turret guns added into the mix.
165	* WaveMotionGun: The Megalaser. You also get a smaller version in the form of the laser weapon.
166	* WeaponizedCar: "Modified Pickup Trucks", which are regular pickup trucks with an RPG attached to them.
167	* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: After the FinalBoss' defeat, the leader of the Red Star requests for his side to surrender and stop the fighting. Your tank driver promptly shoots him.
168	--> "[[GracefulLoser We surrender, Yankee tank]]... no more." gets shot by tank
169	--> "Nice try, buddy... but I'm not [[ISurrenderSuckers falling for that trick]] again."
170	* {{Wormsign}}: Sand clouds are thrown up from the ground before Mechworm jumps out of that spot.
171	* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: After defeating X-bot in Killingrad, your tank driver begins to celebrate, only for his HQ to contact him and say that it was all a diversion, and that the Red Star was actually producing an army ten times the size of what you destroyed. You then have to go through levels 1-9 again, except that the enemies are tougher and the bosses are upgraded. Savvy players will know that there is something wrong when you beat X-Bot: you haven't got all your upgrade points yet. Plus, the [[SpoilerCover screenshots]] for the game show satellites and blimps in Petrovakia (see the page image), which don't appear the first time you go there.
172	* ZergRush: The Red Star's means of attacking the Atomic Tank involves planes and helicopters. '''[[WeHaveReserves Obscene]] [[ZergRush amounts]] of planes and helicopters.''' Too bad for them, their opponent is a [[OneManArmy One-Tank Army]].
